  • the model used for predicting the state of charge of the battery may be based on an assumption of the amount of charge available from the battery directly after recharging. This overall amount of charge available from the battery could either be measured as laid out in detail below or based on a model without measurements assuming the general behavior of the battery.
  • the step of predicting the state of charge of the battery is carried out using a parameter indicating a period of time having elapsed since recharging of a battery was finished. This consideration of the time having elapsed since recharging allows an exact prediction of the state of charge of the battery, i.e. the remaining run time of the battery during the current discharge cycle.

  • a measurement "during the charging of the battery” means includes intervals directly prior and directly after charging.
  • this embodiment helps to predict the state of charge of the battery during the discharge cycle more accurately due to the incorporation of parameters measured during the charging cycle of the battery.
  • the battery During the charging of the battery the battery must be connected to a battery charger in order to deliver energy to the battery. Therefore during the charging cycle the battery and thus the device connected to the battery must be brought into contact with the charging device in any case.
  • the requirement to bring the recharge prediction unit into contact with the battery does not add any further inconvenience or complexity to the usage of the system comprising the battery, the device powered by the battery, the battery charger and the recharge prediction unit.
  • a measurement of battery parameters during the charging of a battery allows to accurately determine the state of charge at the end of the charging cycle, i.e. determining the overall amount of charge available from the battery after recharging and furthermore allows to take into account aging effects of the battery not only by modeling, but by detecting the actual state of the battery with respect to its overall lifetime.
  • An example of an embodiment of the present invention providing a model for determining the state of charge of a battery is given in the following description.
  • the state of charge and the maximum charge available from a battery are updated during recharging of the battery. To achieve this the following steps are carried out: The state of charge prior to charging is measured, the amount of charge flowing into the battery during the charging cycle is determined, the state of charge is measured after the charging cycle has successfully been completed.
  • the state of charge prior to charging can be obtained by measuring the battery voltage when the battery is in a relaxed or stand-by state, operating at very low or no drain currents, i.e. the so called equilibrium voltage value (EMF). From the EMF the state of charge may be calculated using a look-up table.
  • EMF equilibrium voltage value
  • the battery drain in many practical applications, e.g. medical devices, is so low that in practice the battery operates very near its stand-by-state, so a measured battery voltage directly yields EMF.
  • EMF and thus SoC si can be determined directly prior to onset of charging process without any entire relaxation of the battery.
  • the state of charge SoC si before the beginning of a recharging of the battery is determined.
  • the amount of charge Q ch flowing into the battery during the charging period is simply obtained by integrating the charging current flowing into the battery during the charging period.
  • the battery is recharged while the device powered by the battery is still operated. Under these circumstances it could be the case that the battery discharge rate during charging is too high to allow a direct determination of the EMF of the battery. Then the method for recharging the battery will be started by replacing the battery as the power source by an external recharger delivering the power needed to operate the device which had previously been powered by the battery. The battery is then put on stand-by while the external power source, i.e. the recharger, continuous to power the device. The battery voltage then relaxes to the EMF. The EMF and thus the state of charge of the battery can then be determined either from the dynamics of relaxation into the relaxed state of the battery or by the end value of the EMF. After relaxation of the battery into the stand-by mode charging of the battery is started as described above.
  • the battery after charging the battery may be put into stand-by again before determining the EMF.
  • the final state of charge of the battery is then determined before the device is once again powered by the freshly recharged battery.
  • the battery voltage and charging current are measured during charging. From the relation between battery voltage and charging current Q max is derived using a mathematical model of the battery.
  • the battery charging is interrupted one or more times to let the battery voltage relax to EMF leading to an intermediate SoC estimate during the charging.
  • the state of charge determined during the measurements is compared to a corresponding model value and the model for the battery is adaptively updated to the battery used.
  • the SoC values, Q max values and recharge time stamps from one or more, or at least the last, recharging sessions are stored.
  • This storage in an embodiment occurs in the battery or a device associated with the battery, such that the storage is disconnected from the RPU during discharging of the battery.
  • the measured SoC si from the current charging session and the stored SoC sf and Q max from the previous charging session and the elapsed time between the charging events are used to estimate the average battery drain I drain .
  • the voltage of the battery V bat is measured at the onset of the discharging of the battery. Then the difference between V bat and the EMF after charging is determined. This difference is referred to as the overpotential. Typically V bat will be lower than the EMF.
  • the overpotential is influenced e.g. by the ageing of the battery or by temperature. Thus the overpotential may help to determine the amount of charge that can be withdrawn from the battery under predetermined conditions. The charge that can be withdrawn from the battery is distinct from the available charge in the battery.
  • ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ are parameters determined empirically by the fitting of experimentally measured SoC l data.
  • Q ch is the amount of charge flowing into the battery during the charging period, which can be obtained by integrating the charging current flowing into the battery during the charging period. This way the prediction of the remaining run-time t r according to an embodiment accounts for the overpotential after recharging of the battery and thus for the ageing of the battery.
  • the average battery drain is adaptively calculated using stored values from at least one previous charging session. Calculation of the average battery drain is carried in the RPU.
  • the device powered by the rechargeable battery or a device associated with the battery contains means to measure average battery drain and means to transmit this information to the RPU.
  • the remaining run-time is calculated as the difference between the autonomy time and the time elapsed since the last recharge.
  • the remaining run-time may be displayed to the user and a warning signal may be given out alternatively or in addition to the remaining run-time when the remaining run-time drops below a critical pre-stored value.
  • the method according to the present invention may be used in order to provide an indication for the state of charge of a battery used to power a medical implant and thus to determine the remaining run-time of that battery.
  • Batteries in medical implants do have the advantage of being operated at well known conditions, i.e. at constant temperature and constant and reproducible power consumption such that drainage of the battery during the discharge operation can be very accurately modeled.

  • the connecting device may be a male or female connector.
  • a connecting device in terms of the invention could also be any other means for the transfer of energy or information such as a radio frequency receiver/transmitter or an inductive coupling.
  • the recharge prediction unit may comprise a memory for storing at least one parameter for the prediction of the state of charge of the battery.
  • the at least one parameter may in an embodiment be one of the parameters used for the prediction of the state of charge as discussed above.
  • the recharge prediction unit may comprise an up-dating device for up-dating the at least one parameter.
  • the updating device updates the parameter when the connecting device is connected to the battery or any device associated with the battery during charging of the battery.
  • the updated parameter may be stored in the memory.
  • the updated parameters are parameters determined during the charging of the device. In other examples outside the scope of the invention the parameters could also be parameters which have been obtained and stored by the battery or any associated device during discharging, which are only communicated to the recharge prediction unit during the charging operation.

This estimation of the energy content of the electrical energy source requires the prediction of the overall charge available from the energy source.

  • Element C1 estimates the content of energy of the electrical source of energy, i.e. a battery, before usage of a device being powered by the rechargeable energy source after a recharge operation occurred.

  • step 17 the overall amount of charge Q ch going into the battery during the charging period is determined by integrating the charging current into the battery during the charging period.
  • step 18 the EMF is measured again in step 18 (RPU: Measure EMF) for the charged state of the battery and thus the state of charge SoC sf is determined from the look-up table in step 19 (RPU: Determine SoC sf ).
  • the charge available for powering the device is given by Q max ⁇ SoC sf .
  • the discharger and RPU, respectively, are then disconnected from the battery in step 21 (Disconnect charger/RPU).
